Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Apple just held its biggest event of the year. And it launched its biggest product of the year, the iPhone 8 – before going ahead and announcing an even bigger one, the iPhone X.

There was actually three phones: the cheaper iPhone 8, and the premium and more expensive X.

And that wasn't all – there was also an updated Apple Watch, an even better looking Apple TV, and software updates for most of Apple's products.

Follow along here for all the latest updates from Apple's big event, as well as before and after.

Please allow a moment for the liveblog to appear.

"Seats are light brown leather with light brown leather armrests that come halfway," says Apple journalist Serenity Caldwell on Twitter. "Comfy without swallowing their user."

Just a few minutes to go. The video is live on Apple's special event page, though it's not actually showing anything yet. You can watch it here.

A nice thing about Apple's livestream is that's it integrated the recent addition of picture in picture. That means you can break the video out into its own little window, and leave the rest of Safari behind.

Here we go. Apple is showing drone shots of the theatre and playing The Beatles.
